Share.

Celebrating 20 years of drunk-and-disorderly.

By IGN DVD

It's entirely possible that watching rednecks and meth-heads get taken down by some of America's finest law enforcement may never, ever get old. Whether it's a naked, coked-out husband leading cops on a trailer-park chase or a violent, no-holds-barred cat-fight between drunken women, COPS has remained both riveting and hysterical for 20 years.

Fans will have the right to remain amazed when Fox Home Entertainment dispatches COPS 20th Season Anniversary on DVD February 19th, commemorating 20 seasons of the longest-running reality series in television history. A Saturday night staple on Fox since its premiere on March 11, 1989, the 30-minute action-packed, four-time Emmy nominated reality series takes cameras into real-life police situations, offering a whole new perspective on the world of law enforcement and criminals. Provocative, raw and endlessly voyeuristic, COPS has garnered a huge following while its success and longevity have influenced countless television and film parodies and tributes.

Featuring the "20th Season Special," the original pilot and over five hours of new content, the COPS 20th Season Anniversary DVD will include commentaries by producer John Langley and two "best of" compilation episodes exposing 20 COPS segments spanning its 20 seasons. Additionally, the DVD will be packing heat with a line-up of featurettes including "COPS in the Movies and on TV: Spoofs and Tributes," "Cops On Cops," "Behind-the-Scenes," and a "Fan Favorites" featurette including celebrity fan interviews with Chris O'Donnell, Pete Sampras and Luke Wilson. The COPS 20th Season Anniversary DVD will be available for the suggested retail price of $29.99.
